“Swipe right” means to like or accept someone, while “swipe left” means to reject them. The meaning of these two phrases is taken from one of Tinders core mechanics. When a person sees a profile on their Tinder feed, they can either swipe right to show their interest or swipe left if theyre uninterested.

Will Tinder show you someone who you already swiped right?

Instead of just swiping right to quietly like someone — which theyll only discover if they also swipe right on you — you swipe up to loudly like someone. When they see your profile, it will have a big blue star on it so they know you already like them and that if they swipe right, youll immediately match.
